Approximately 700,000 U.S. military personnel participated in Operation Desert Storm, which was the combat phase of the Gulf War that began in January 1991. This operation aimed to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation following the invasion in August 1990. The coalition forces included troops from various countries, but the U.S. played a significant leadership role in the operation.

The U.S. response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was called Operation Desert Shield, which involved the deployment of American and coalition forces to protect Saudi Arabia and prepare for potential military action. This was followed by Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, which was the combat phase aimed at liberating Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. The operation successfully expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait within a matter of weeks.

If you go to Wikipedia and look under "Persian Gulf War," all the countries which participated will be listed on an easy to read table with their level of participation, and the countries which fought in Operation Desert Storm will be there. Many countries were part of the Gulf Coalition, but some provided defensive personnel for Operation Desert Shield and did not take part in Desert Storm. Others provided medical, security, or other non-combat personnel. You can probably do it faster than I can do it for you.

No. Prior to Desert Storm there was talk that the Soviets might commit combat forces, but it did not happen. It should be remembered that the USSR had recently collapsed and was still picking itself up from the rubble. It should also be remembered that the US, Great Britain, France, and the the other Coalition countries had more than enough forces in the area to make Operation Desert Storm a smashing success. Soviet participation would have been a nice gesture, but it was non-essential.
